QOL suggestion

Any chance we can have some way to easily tell which characters are available for a * promotion?

Either some sort of visual 'notice' on the main roster screen(like a glow or something) or a way to filter them??

    This is true for GA....maybe not true for TB where bloatage might help an alliance get to the next tier level.

    Keep in mind also that CG mentioned something about changing matchmaking to account for some people that are collectors vs some prefer to focus on specific teams.
  • Usually its just marquees, characters needed for a legendary, and reworks
    that get promotions in data cards on the main store.
  • Look at bar blueness when scrolling down your roster. Generally people will know if a character needs a * upgrade since it's something they are farming.
  • Never had an issue with this as my active farms are the only ones I promote
  • Well idk what these other guys are talking about, but i share your pain on this one and i agree this should be a thing.

    As a side though, you could filter by rarity and go down the line that way.
  • Well, I guess if you have the vast majority of your roster already at 7*, sure, this isn't a thing,

    But I still earn shards for characters I'm *not* focused on farming via Galactic War and the lone free Bronzeium I open every day for the quest, as well as buying some shards here and there in the store if they pop up, but aren't on my farming team(which is Malak/DR focused atm).

    So, sorry if I'm still a newb or some such nonsense.....

    The other two are on about only farming a few characters at a time, so say death trooper, darth sion and darth nihilus. Once you get the shards for them, you promote said character.

    And there is a blue bar underneath every character, that shows how many shards you have of said character. The mor enter blue line if filled in, the closer you are you promoting the character.

    To say you have no idea what the other guys are talking about makes it seem like you only just started, or are incompetent

    Here’s a picture if it helps. As you can see, kind of hard to tell the difference between ready to promote and maxed, but as someone mentioned before if you sort by rarity you can scroll past all your 7* toons.

  • I favorite the toons I am farming, that puts them at the top of the search. That way I just open character screen and look at the top row and can tell which ones are ready. Several have made good points in this thread about bloat. Be cautious who you promote, not all are worthy of 7* or gear 12.
